The PGA Tour's crown jewel, The Players Championship, starts on Thursday from the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. It's the best, deepest field of the year in golf on a course that demands a complete game to win.
Martin Kaymer is the defending champion, and he gets a pair of past Players winners for the first two days. He'll go off No. 1 on Thursday at 1:49 p.m. with Adam Scott and 2013 winner Tiger Woods, who did not get to defend his title in 2014.
The eye-catching group of the first two days, however, is Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day. The world No. 1, No. 2 and No. 7 players will get to keep an eye on one another for the weekday rounds, starting at 8:39 a.m. on Thursday from the 10th tee.
